Managing risk, creating value: an ESG framework that strengthens stakeholder confidence

Managing risk, creating value: an ESG framework that strengthens stakeholder confidence

The Get It Fair program provides stakeholders with accurate, reliable, and credible sustainability information about an organization.

Through a single Due Diligence process based on a comprehensive reference model, Get It Fair enables both:

  • the verification of sustainability reporting, providing assurance on the truthfulness of information relating to past events; and
  • the validation of the ESG rating, providing confirmation of the plausibility of assumptions concerning future ESG risk exposure.

The Get It Fair programme supports stakeholders in making informed and well-grounded decisions on how to engage with an organisation, based on a forward-looking assessment of its exposure to ESG risks.

The benefits for the company and its Stakeholders

The benefits for the company and its Stakeholders

1.

ESG Passaport

The most comprehensive

The GIF FRAMEWORK addresses all ESG dimensions, including governance, social and environmental impact, health and safety, and ethics.
It constitutes a structured managerial model designed to guide organisations towards sustained excellence, while systematically identifying and mitigating ESG-related risk

2.

The most accurate

A rigorous and in-depth due diligence process, combining on-site assessments and document review and focused on outcomes, evaluates both current and potential exposure to ESG risks across all sustainability-related areas that may adversely affect the organisation and its stakeholders.

The assessment also supports companies in defining targeted improvement plans across all ESG dimensions, through ongoing monitoring over time and benchmarking against peer organisations.

3.

The most reliable

GIF due diligence may be conducted exclusively by accredited conformity-assessment bodies and by GIF AP assessors certified by independent organisations.

The assessment process is designed to minimise subjectivity, ensuring a high level of reliability, consistency, and credibility of the results

4.

The most recognised and usable

GIF is the only programme that, upon completion of the ESG rating process, validates and grants the right to use a certification mark that is compliant with international standards..

The GIF Responsible Organization mark represents a tangible reputational and communication asset for the organisation.

The ESG Rating is validated by accredited bodies, not by the company itself.

The ESG Rating is validated by accredited bodies, not by the company itself.

Many ESG rating services rely on publicly available sustainability information or on self-assessments conducted by the company.
In addition, the underlying evaluation criteria and methodologies are often not fully transparent.

As a result, stakeholders do not receive sustainability information that has been independently verified with an adequate level of confidence and credibility.

Within the Get It Fair program, both the ESG Rating and the sustainability report are assessed by independent, accredited bodies through in-depth due diligence carried out on-site at the company's premises, in accordance with clearly defined criteria and methodologies disclosed with the highest level of transparency.
